Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the potato halves and cook until they are tender and golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy herb sauce.
Adjust seasoning and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform sizes to guarantee even cooking. You may substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs if preferred for extra moisture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
